The Crew: Wild Run Edition

[TJ13]

Looks like I got to keep grinding.

The way I do it is that I don't do summit events right away. Since the first few days there are not too many people doing them so most likely your score would be lower than what it could be.
Although you can set a good time/score and it might hold throughout the summit events.
I normally do a run on Wednesday, then again on Saturday, if I feel good enough on Saturday I don't play on Sunday. If I don't then I will do a bit then.

Very true. I will most likely get Silver/Gold because I don't have my vehicles very highly spec'd so I could grind to get parts in the mean time.

Anyone on XBOX One wanna Crew up for the Summit events? Could use a hand with the Crew Speedtrap.

[TJ13]

Well I did a quick run of them today/tonight.
Around 161 and I think platinum is around 800 or 600, can't remember which one. I probably will check them on Wednesday and then again on Saturday.

 

[lxmmy]

Is anyone on PS4, which could give me a hand with the 'Crew Speedtrap'?

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

Well after 3 hours last night of plugging away at the Summit events and finally managing to complete the Crew Speedtrap, I'm up to 415th in the rank, well over the Platinum cutoff. Having tomorrow off from work is a nice gift, since I can spend a good amount of time chipping away every position possible. That MX5 will be MINE.

I'm gonna start the summit today. @Nick Skyline. You wanna help me with the summit like usually?

Sure, let's do this routine like we usually do it.

PRO TIP: To get into the Summit Qualifiers, go to whatever straight road you can find, or the Bonneville Salt Flats if you're having a difficult time doing so. Once you're wherever you want to be, just do 2 very quick (less than 10 seconds) drag races. It should take under 2 minutes no matter what kind of car you use.

I had my latest "so now I know" moment today. I was attempting to qualify for this month's Summit, which would have been the first Summit that I qualified for (my dad qualified for the June Summit) and thought I had to get 3 metals on events in a qualifier, so I did that. Well upon firing the game up today, I was expecting it to say something about me qualifying for this month's Summit. Well instead I was treated to it saying I needed to get metals in 3 qualifying Summits, not the other way around. And when I hover over the monthly Summit, I am treated to this message: "You did not qualify for this month's Summit, but you can still buy your access pass." Well now I know that when I try to qualify for August's Summit.

Cool random sequence of events that turned out to be drifting.

Considering getting this game. How is it? And what can I expect?

I just bought it recently and it is well worth the money. You can expect a multitude of different cars and events to do and not get bored.

 

[Elitekilla29]

I was doing some pvp races in the summit last night and had a great comeback. I really thought my race was over during the middle of the race but i just came back and won by a small margin. Here it is.

 

[lxmmy]

Does anybody have any tips for the drag trial?

I am constantly getting the same time and really struggling finding a tenth out of my time.

If you are doing it solo it's going to be hard.
Way I kinda found out is that an all grip bonus seems to be the best with the Ruf CTR.
Also would recommend if you haven't already is use hardcore settings if controller.
Perfect everything makes it a slightly better too
I am around 12.8 solo.

I'm using a 1299 Viper, so should I put the Grip version of the parts on?

It does make a difference. Since I can do about .1 faster than all speed.
I tested it out on the CTR I went from a 12.901 (Full Speed) to a 12.800 (Full Grip)

So, the Summit ends very soon. Very excited for my Mazda MX5 prize. Sitting around 650th-700th, with the Platinum cutoff well into the 2,000s.

Half an hour as I write this, to be exact.

As a huge fan of the MX5, this Summit prize HAD to be in my garage. No question about it. Granted while it isn't a 1st gen MX5, I can still enjoy the 4th gen just as much.

 

[TJ13]

I got platinum when it ended.
So now I will just wait until it gets to the point where it will unlock and release.
Didn't when I was on about 15 minutes after summit ended.

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

I got my MX5, but there weren't any specs available for it. Only full-stock.

I got my MX5, but there weren't any specs available for it. Only full-stock.

Seems like its been bugged, and im assuming it hadnt unlocked the other specs server-side or something, not sure but whatever it is, its quite the gigantic oversight. At least the car still feels fun to drive fullstock right now!

 

[lxmmy]

Very lucky to still get the MX5 even though I had finished in Silver.

Hopefully, there is an update to be rolled out to enable more specs for it.

 

[Elitekilla29]

They just said over on the Ubisoft crew forum that they will have it resolved this week. The no specs for the MX5 issue.

Full Stock, Street and Perf

I'm hearing street and performance spec.

Full Stock, Street and Perf

I'm hearing street and performance spec.

I really hope it can give those Skylines a run for its money in the Street class.

 

[DDastardly00]

Got a platinum in the summit without doing the Crew Speedtrap event, it took some doing but at least it's attainable without being in a crew. Can't wait to start modding this car once they add the specs (lol)
